Wait! It’s not me. And it’s got nothing to do with Orbit Trap this time either.
Curious who could be having seconds thoughts about the glorious Benoit Mandelbrot Fractal Art Contest 2009 besides Orbit Trap? Well, it’s none other than Mr. Velocipede!
Here’s what she says:
I’ve finally had a chance to take a better look at the …
I got a couple of comments to my previous post, Art, Craft and Fractals, which raised an issue which I think needs to be clarified. The term, Craft, is used in many ways and most of them are probably derogatory in the context of art. But it’s not my intention to bad-mouth craft, only to …
Art is a term that is used very loosely these days. I happen to think that this casual application of the label, “art” to everything graphical has produced some confusion in the digital art world and obscured what has traditionally been known as Fine Art, submerging it beneath a flood of what I think is …

In Part 1 I had said that Part 2 would be the Guild in action, but I think I need to clarify this whole notion of a Fractal Art Guild a bit better before going on. I really think most of the fractal art world functions like a large association of craftsmen whose closest analogy …

The 2009 Benoit Mandelbrot Fractal Art Contest results have been announced. If you’re a regular OT reader, you already got this news. We announced it on Thursday — apparently before the contest itself was ready to do so. When, on the UF Mailing List, one of the judges …
Yes, the winners of the Benoit Mandelbrot 2009 Fractal Art Contest are now out (and this time it’s final). I’m skipping the usual clever art critic review for now because there’s something that’s just too outrageous not to comment on right off the bat. If you’ve seen the 2009 winners page you might have missed …
